PGA Tour Wants to Add Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to LIV Golf Lawsuit

Attorneys for the PGA Tour have filed a motion calling for Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to be listed as a defendant in the tour's countersuit against LIV Golf, according to ESPN's Mark Schlabach.

The PGA Tour contends the PIF and its governor, Yasir Othman Al-Rumayyan, helped golfers signed to the tour breach their contracts. Schlabach provided a portion of the motion:

"As set forth in the existing counterclaim, LIV intentionally and knowingly caused these players to breach their contractual obligations to the TOUR by misrepresenting TOUR contracts; inducing these breaches by offering highly lucrative contracts that make it impossible for players to comply with their TOUR contracts; and providing extensive indemnification and hundreds of millions of dollars to compensate LIV players for these breaches.
